Um, that was Sean Hayes. He’s currently in Promises, Promises. They were giving him a break by performing that number because he was also hosting the show.
Um, OK? Dressing like Little Orphan Annie took everything out of him then?
I’m surprised that they found funding for La Cage aux Folles since they revived it in 2004 and it flopped. That said, I liked the selections used on the Tonys and Hodge’s unique voice adds a lot to the character.
No, but when you’re doing 8 shows a week and hosting the Tonys, it might have been a little too much to expect him to belt out a rousing rendition of “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again”.
Aren’t many if not most of the people performing on the show doing eight shows a week? Is hosting the Tonys that much more grueling? I mean, if we can mock those who actually did sing and dance, then the guy who worked a calculator seems like fair game.
Well, he’d probably been in a variety of rehearsals (as is typical for most award show hosts) throughout the week as well, so the cumulative toll it’s taken over the week would not be insignificant.
Well, I mean, obviously you can mock whoever you want to mock. I just wanted to make sure you knew the guy you were mocking was the host of the show, which requires many rehearsals, as ArchiveGuy said, as well as singing and dancing 8 times a week as the lead in a show (which is very different from being an ensemble member).
Thank you.
Yeah, it started off as a little joke, although I’m sure I have seen harder-working hosts and the show didn’t look all that rehearsed to me. Still, he has done a lot more work than I have in the past week, so I shouldn’t put him down too much.
I saw in US Today lists Radcliff as 165cm and Katie Holmes as 175cm
175 cm is about 69 inches 5’9"
165 cm is about 65 inches 5’5"
